I know how to design and develop android application which works offline.But now i want to move towards dynamic android app,which works totally online like facebook,quora,newshunt.Where should i start please give me a way.
Thanks
I personally am completely self-taught when it comes to android, and, well, its been a journey.
For me, a big turning point was

It really gives you a good idea of what it takes to create an app that is connected to the internet, and it isn't hard to implement yourself. Mind you, before, you were working with just android, but once you integrate network connectivity and a server backend, the levels of complexity multiply.
If you're a solo-developer, just getting started, the Google App Engine does a pretty good job of making everything very easy to use, so I might recommend that. It has a free trial of all their cloud services which is $300 for 2 months.

Amazon AWS also is attempting to create a similar system, but they are seemingly geared to more enterprise-level operations.

I hope you are doing well.
I have a project to do at school, it's about developing an API to link three applications from different platforms to a single database. It will be a desktop, mobile and web application. But problem, I've never developed an API and I don't know where to start. I would like you to tell me how to do it (which language to use, which software I need and if you can advise me on specific courses), or at least give me indications on how to search. I heard that we could develop some with Python which is a language that I use often, so if there are indications that can go in this direction as well. Thank you so much.
Based on knowledge about python i recommend to use Flask framework to create your api and you can find a lot of youtube videos can help you
i hope that i was helpful for you good luck

I found these 3 app on Play Store and want to base my learning course on what tehnology are they make.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.TreetopCrew.VirtualBeggar
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.outerminds.tubular
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.nanobit.cheftown
So my questions are how to make it and focus my learning on technologies they use. What frameworks is best to use and stuff like that.
I know to make basics app till now, with standard design and fuctionality, but want to learn more.
I know that the last one is little more complex, but I have a free time and want to learn, so any help will be appreciate.
Thx
I would suppose you received down votes as this is not really a question for stackoverflow. As commonsware stated, it is best practice to reach out to the developers and see if they are willing to divulge any info on what they used to develop their apps. As well there are multiple resources out there for starting game development in android. One that comes to my mind is XDA, but even just using google to dig around.
Here is a link to a game development thread on XDA
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1753131
And here is a link to the development thead mentioned in XDA

Stackoverflow is more designed and targeted to specific code problems/questions. It is not meant for individuals to ask for "how do i make this" questions.
For reference, please see the link below on what should be asked here on Stackoverflow

I'm a beginner in mobile app development. Am planning to develop an app related to social networking. Curious to understand the best possible resources to start with. I see some websites like apparchitect.com which help to create a mobile app easily. But I'm not able to figure out how the backend works. Can anyone guide me on how I can proceed with UI and the backend? Are there any tools or platforms available in cloud which will help me to quicken my mobile app development especially social networking apps?
This is a very broad question but i can understand it is difficult for beginners to approach as you don't know where to start, you can design user interface using google's IDE or eclipse, stick to that at least for the start before you move to advanced or custom UI design
for back-end there are many choices including but not limited to sql, sql lite, many other sql based products this list can get quite long, however i'd suggest parse.com it is easy to implement and reliable cloud based service or you could look at similar services usually they don't charge until your app gets to a certain request/traffic limit
if you can afford below sites offer good training content
https://teamtreehouse.com/home
http://www.pluralsight.com/
http://www.raywenderlich.com/category/android (paid plus free content)
Hope this helps !
That's a broad question. You can look at Android tutorials on teamtreehouse.com and look into using Parse.com for the backend. At least one of the teamtreehouse Android tutorials focuses on Parse.com, and another tutorial focuses on UI layout.

So, I have to do an app to my company, my first job, and I have to use the accelerometer, in this case to calculate the movement that the player is doing.
I have to implement for iOS and Android but I have few time to do it.
I found Unity3d, but I would like to know:
Is it going to work for iOS and Android if I export?
How can I update the app using Unity3d?
Is the app the same after the exportation?
Can I implement the accelerometer one time, or I have to do 2 different times, to iOS and to Android?
Another question: is the Database implementation going to be the same?
Thank you so much. I hope that someone can help me.
If you're making an app just for accelerometer, it'd be a lot faster to do it in Java and Objective-C respectively, than to figure out Unity3D, which is actually a game engine.
Of course all of the things you've mentioned are possible in Unity, but it's not made for apps, at least not a simple 2D or UI based app.
1) Yes
2) Open Unity, update your app, build for both platforms and then push to their respective stores.
3) They will almost be identical.
4) You "should" only have to write it once, but you might need to do some conditionals depending on what you are doing, or what bugs come up on the different systems.

I have been doing some research to create an IM application. I saw many sample codes and still trying to decide which method to use. Before starting development I want to ask your opinion if anybody knows how popular IM applications such as Kakao Talk, Line, We Chat, WhatsApp work.
I saw some articles saying to use Google Cloud, and some articles about using XMPP.
I am a kinda new for Android development and before starting development I want to see all my possibilities and choose best method for that.
Thanks for your time.
Well, I would presume they don't all work the same way. There are different techniques one can use to implement a chat client. Each of these companies might have their own proprietory technologies depending on their scale, user base, finances etc.
2 popular options you can check out are :
XMPP - It's supported by most major chat clients and is used by the likes of Facebook (a customized version of it anyway). asmack is a popular XMPP library for Android which might be useful to you.
A Backend-As-A-Service (BAAS) provider like Parse. This will save you a lot of server side heavy lifting and writing backend code like you would have to do if you were considering something like AWS
If this is a learning project, I would suggest implementing a very simple client and writing both the server and client-side code so that you know how the whole stack works. Hope that helps!
